2011 Best App Ever winners announced
Jeff Scott of 148 Apps has announced the winners for the Best App Ever for 2011, and you can review at the official site right now. Jetpack Joyride from Halfbrick was the overall winner in the iOS devision (which is a great app, but probably also benefited from actually promoting the Best App Ever vote inside the app itself). There are several other winners across various categories like Most Innovative (Codea), Most Useful (Amazon Mobile) and Best Time Killer (Tiny Wings).
Scott tells us that 148 Apps received a record 1.5 million votes this year, which is three times the total of last year’s choices. Before voting began, there were 287,643 nominations across 7,243 apps. This year also featured Android winners in many categories, but Scott says that iOS topped the Android votes by a factor of 10:1.
The Best App Ever awards are always an excellent check of what’s available on the App Store, so review the list and find some great new apps. Congratulations to all of the winners, and thanks to 148 Apps for putting the whole thing together.

Electrical Repair for Vehicles
Today’s vehicles are extremely sophisticated.As a result, electrical repairs are not as easy as they have been in the past.Still, the majority of auto electrical repairs can be traced back to a few root causes.Let’s take a look at a few of the most common types of electrical repairs, as well as how they can be fixed by a mechanic.
1) Your battery – No car can run without the help of a charged battery. If your battery is low of juice, your vehicle can experience a wide variety of electrical issues. If your vehicle does not start, it could be because of your battery. If your vehicle does not start, you should try to use jumper cables to boost its power and start the car. If this is not the case, you will probably have to have your battery replaced.
2) Electrical Alternator Repair – If your battery is not the cause of your electrical problems, there may be something wrong with your alternator.Like the battery, your alternator can affect the performance of your vehicle’s electrical components.Actually, it is your alternator that provides the charge for your battery.If you notice that your vehicle is stalling shortly after you start it, it may signify that you have a faulty alternator.
3) Car starter repair – Your car’s starter is what gives power to your ignition. Sometimes dirt and grime can build-up on the car starter, causing it to become faulty. Overheating can also cause your starter to act up. Car starter repair problems are usually signified by slow cranking upon ignition.
4) Electrical Fuse Repair – If you notice that your lights are not working properly, or your radio is acting up, you may have a faulty electrical fuse. Many times, auto electrical repairs needs are simply caused by a burnt fuse. Alternator problems may also be a sign of burnt fuses. Electrical repairs are cheap to fix, so they should always be the first thing you look for when you have electrical problems. This may not be the root cause of your issues, but if it is you will save yourself a great deal of money by catching it before you replace a more expensive part such as the alternator.
If you own a vehicle, you should be aware of issues that can cause electrical problems. The first thing that you will want to do if you notice strange electrical problems is check your electrical fuse box. If you don’t find anything wrong with the fuses, proceed to check the battery and alternator. Finally, if there is no other solution, your electrical problems may be being caused by a faulty starter. If you are experiencing electrical problems, take your vehicle in for electrical repair immediately.

The Weekly Economic Indicators: Still All Looking Good
First, as to the monthly reports, home sales continued poor, but consumer confidence jumped back further, completely regaining its pre-debt debacle levels. In the rear view mirror department, 4Q 2011 GDP was +2.8% although some internal components were weaker. Those few sources who thought a new recession might begin by the end of 2011 were almost certainly wrong.
Turning now to the high frequency weekly indicators:
Weekly employment-related data was mixed.
The BLS reported that Initial jobless claims rose by 25,000 to 377,000, which is still an excellent in comparison with almost any report in the last 4 years except for the week preceding. This is the last report affected significantly by seasonality. The four week average declined by 1500 to 377,500. This is close to the lowest level since mid-2008.
The American Staffing Association Index rose by 3 to 87 last week, the best January reading since 2008, and significantly ahead of last year.
The Daily Treasury Statement showed that withholding for the first 17 days of January 2012 was $138.6 B vs. $132.7 B a year ago. Adjusting +0.27% due to the 2011 tax compromise, for the last 20 reporting days, $162.0 B was collected vs. $156.9 B a year ago, a gain of +3.3%.
Housing data was mixed:
The Mortgage Bankers’ Association reported that seasonally adjusted purchase mortgage applications decreased 6.5% YoY and was also down -9.7% from one week ago. The overall trend remains flat since June 2010. Refinancing fell -5.2% in the last week.
For the seventh week in a row, YoY weekly median asking house prices from 54 metropolitan areas at Housing Tracker were positive, up +3.7% YoY. This is the best reading in close to 5 years.
Sales and transportation continued positive:
Retail same store sales were relatively weak. The ICSC reported that same store sales for the week ending January 21 increased 2.8% YoY, but were down -1.4% week over week. Shoppertrak, did not report, however, Johnson Redbook reported a weak 2.5% YoY gain, the weakest in 6 months.
The American Association of Railroads reported an increase in weekly rail traffic for the week ending January 21, 2012, with U.S. railroads originating 287,734 carloads, up 1.6 percent compared with the same week last year. Intermodal volume for the week totaled 219,706 trailers and containers, up 3 percent compared with the same week last year.
Money supply and Credit spreads were also positive:
M1 increased +0.4% last week, and +2.3% month over month. It is also up 18.9% YoY, so Real M1 is up 15.9%. This is about 5% off peak YoY gain at the end of last summer. M2 was up +0.2% week over week, and up +1.4% month over month, and up 10.1% YoY, so Real M2 was up 7.1%. This is about 3% less than its YoY reading at the crest of the tsunami.
Weekly BAA commercial bond rates declined .01% to 5.20%. Yields on 10 year treasury bonds rose .01% 1.96%. Falling spreads on lower rates is the best signal of improvement, although it is only for two weeks. This spread had a 52 week maximum difference in October and has been tightening slightly in the last few weeks.
Gasoline usage in particular continues to be much lower YoY:
Oil rose slightly to close at $99.56 a barrel on Thursday. This is about at the recession-trigger level calculated by analyst Steve Kopits (adjusted for general inflation). Gas at the pump was flat at $3.39. Measured this way, we are just at or slightly above the 2008 recession trigger level. Gasoline usage, at 8098 M gallons vs. 8632 M a year ago, was off -6.2%. The 4 week moving average is off -6.4%. Since last March the YoY comparisons have been almost uniformly negative, and substantially so since July. It’s at least possible some of this reflects the unusually warm winter most of the country has been experiencing.
Now let’s turn to new high frequency indicators designed to track the global slowdown/recession:
The TED spread is at 0.500 down from 0.520 week over week. This index is slightly above its 2010 peak, but has declined from its 3 year peak of 4 weeks ago. The one month LIBOR is at 0.270, down .007 from one week ago, below its 12 month peak of three weeks ago, and also remains below its 2010 peak.
The Baltic Dry Index at 726 continued to plummet -136 as it has for the last 4 weeks and further continues to decline from its October 52 week high of 2173. The Harpex Shipping Index was declining for a full year, but at 394 is above its 52 week low of 389 three weeks ago. It declined -2 last week. Please note that these two indexes are influenced by supply as well as demand, and have generally been in a secular decline due to oversupply of ships for over half a decade. The Harpex index concentrates on container ships, and has been leading at recent tops and lagging at troughs. The BDI concentrates on bulk shipments such as coal and grain, and has been more lagging at the top but has turned up first at the 2009 trough.
Finally, the unweighted Shadow Weekly Leading Index was slightly negative this week. Next day, so was the ECRI WLI. Once again I not surprised.
Global worries have continued to abate. In the US virtually all the news is positive, but some weakly so, and mortgage applications continue to bounce up and down along their two year bottom. There remains no sign of any present or imminent downturn in the economy right now.
Have a good weekend.

Take a tour of the Macworld | iWorld 2012 show floor
Just as soon as the show floor opened at this year’s Macworld | iWorld 2012 in San Francisco, we grabbed a camera and did a run through the exhibitions on display. You can see all of the various booths and their vendors and showcases in the gallery below (everything from Mac and iOS accessories to app developers and even content producers), as well as shots from the “Macworld Midway” displays and the registration area.
Things are hopping on the first day of the conference. There are some big names missing from the show floor; Apple obviously isn’t officially here, and some of the big vendors from previous years aren’t around. But as you can see below, there are plenty of exhibitors here, both big and small. We’ll have lots more coverage from Macworld | iWorld all this week, from most of the exhibitors in the gallery below and even more. Stay tuned!

Western Digital announces My Book Thunderbolt Duo drive
It’s the first day of Macworld | iWorld 2012 and the new Mac products are beginning to roll out. Western Digital is back with a hot, new Thunderbolt drive, the My Book Thunderbolt Duo. The external hard drive uses the 10 Gbps Thunderbolt port, and supports two 3.5-inch hard drives in a RAID 0 striped array. It’ll send data at a speedy 2 Gbps (250 MBps) which will let you send a full HD movie to the drive in 30 seconds. This is fast, but not as fast as it could be because hard drive technology has not kept up with the speed of the ports.
Despite this speed discrepancy, the My Book Thunderbolt Duo still beats any USB 2.0 drive on the market. It’d be a perfect drive for video professionals who regularly transfer large files. The My Book Thunderbolt Duo will be available in 4 TB and 6 TB capacities. The availability date and pricing are not yet known.
Check back with us all week as our team at Macworld | iWorld is providing complete coverage of all the goodies on the expo floor.
[Via Electronista]
IRVINE, Calif. – Jan. 26, 2012 – (Macworld/iWorld Booth #401) – Western Digital(R) (NYSE: WDC), the world’s leader in external storage solutions, will demonstrate the ultra-fast data transfer rates of its upcoming My Book(R) Thunderbolt Duo dual-drive storage system at the Macworld/iWorld show (booth #401). Thunderbolt technology will dramatically improve workflow speed and efficiencies for enthusiasts and professionals dealing with large digital files such as video, audio and still photos.
Thunderbolt technology is capable of producing up to 10 gigabits per second1 of throughput on each of two channels in both directions. Users can experience very fast read/write speeds especially during applications such as video editing, 3D rendering, and other intense graphics projects. To put Thunderbolt’s speed into perspective, HD media creators will be able to transfer a standard size full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds, or backup an entire year of continuous music (approx. 8,600 hours of music) in roughly 10 minutes.
“Thunderbolt technology offers the speed needed for creative professionals and enthusiasts who produce, edit, or need quick access to large files, including HD video,” said Jody Bradshaw, general manager of WD’s consumer storage solutions. “During the demonstration, twin Thunderbolt ports show amazing flexibility while allowing daisy-chaining of up to six My Book Thunderbolt Duo systems or other high performance peripherals for an enhanced workflow process. The combination of storage, backup, and speed could make the My Book Thunderbolt Duo the only drive a creative pro would ever need.”

1 Stated transfer rate for Thunderbolt is based on published specifications from Apple. Actual transfer rates when used with My Book Thunderbolt Duo will differ significantly based on system configuration. Performance testing by WD resulted in an average actual transfer rate for Thunderbolt of >250 MB/s on 6 TB systems and >225 MB/s on 4 TB systems. Gigabits per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second; megabytes per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second.

Plasmonic cloak makes objects invisble, but only in the microwave region of the spectrum
Okay, so we’re not up to USS Pegasus levels yet, but for the first time researchers have been able to cloak a three dimensional object. Don’t start planning your first trip to the Hogwarts library restricted section just yet though, the breakthrough is only in the microwave region of the EM spectrum. Using a shell of plasmonic materials, it’s possible to create a “photo negative” of the object being cloaked in order to make it disappear. The technique is different to the use of metamaterials, which try to bounce light around the object. Instead, plasmonics try to deceive the light as to what’s actually there at the time — but because it has to be tailored to create a “negative image” of the object you’re hiding, it’s not as flexible, but it could be an important step on the road to that bank heist we’ve been planning.
